Benthic Diversity Survey and Water Quality Evaluation of Taizi Water System in Liaohe River

Article Preview

Abstract:

The benthos in Taizi water system of Liaohe River were collected in June 2011.Benthiccommunity composition was analyzed, sample points diversity indexes were calculated, waterquality of TaiZi water system was evaluated, and according to the analysis, the main influencefactors of benthic index are pollution and human activities. Corresponding measures should betaken to protect the health of the river and pollution must be controlled. At same time, humaninterference activities should be controlled.
